He returned to Maine in the course of two years, and shortly after commenced the publication of the York County Herald in Saco, in connection with his brother, Dr. Stephen Webster. In a few years he returned to this State. Upon the establishment of the Daily Post in 1850, Mr. Webster occupied the position of editor. In 1853, '54 and '55 he was editor of the Temperance Advocate. In 1856 he returned to the Post, occupying the editorial chair until a few months before his death, which occurred Oct. 16, 1864. The Post said at the time of his death: 'None will be more ready to concede his strength of mind, force of language and fullness of resource than those with whom he came in conflict in the political struggles of State. Trenchant in style, direct in argument, few men chose to expose themselves unnecessarily to the power of his ridicule or sarcasm. The strife of parties and the ascerbities of politics never soured his temper, or rendered vindictive his disposition.'
